With A Smile

Life is a rhythm of good days and not so good days. Today is a not so good day for me. The good thing with this kind of day is--when you are struggling hard to just get through with this kind of day, out of nowhere something catches your attention as if to say, 'hey, take it easy, slow down, it is gonna be alright.' This song of the Eraserheads just pop up as a background of an ad in YouTube. But then the lyrics hit me hard and good. It said, 'baby, don't be scared.... Baby, you don't have to worry 'coz there ain't no need to hurry.' Just these lines and I feel a whole lot better. Seems God is speaking to me directly. These lines are all that I need and I am all set. I have copied the lyrics here. So sing along with me.

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
You can't win at everything but you can try.

Baby, you don't have to worry
'Coz there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way
When they're closing all their doors
And they don't want you anymore
This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway.

Girl I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
We'll get by with a smile
You can never be too happy in this life.

In a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go round
But dont let it bring you down
And turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.

(Too doo doo...)
Let me hear you sing it
(Too doo doo...)

In a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go round
But don't let it bring you down
And turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
Now it's time to kiss away those tears goodbye

(Too doo doo...)
Let me hear you sing it
(Too doo doo...)

That was so good. Thank you God. Thank you Eraserheads. 

Get happy!

Smiling Makes A Difference

     As I am writing this I couldn't help but smile. Smiling has been a part of my morning session and mirror session. Every time I look into the mirror I smile; because that person in the mirror is the most beautiful person I see everyday. I may not mean physically but she is just as she is. And the more I smile, the more beautiful that person in the mirror becomes. I'm not narcissistic, she is just one of the best that I have.

     Anyway, there are many things that make me smile. Yesterday, the tranquil sea beyond and the towering mountains ahead made me smile. Not only that but also the clouds that moved across the sky made me smile. By gazing at these things I could not help but smile. How wonderful God's creations really are.

       This afternoon while walking along the cogon grasses that lined up along my path, my lips curved to a  smile again. The more I smiled when the soft breeze kissed my face. It pays to be a country person. Everything fresh is enjoyed freely. No need to take a vacation.

     In my daily routine, not only the above things made me smile. Included are the helpful articles I read, the comments of friends and the love of my family. Smiling does not mean everything in my life goes perfect. In the contrary, it is not. Only that smiling helps to lighten my load and lets me focus on the bright side of life. Smiling indeed makes a difference.

Get Happy!
